Critical optimism about UN push for gender parity & SG proposals at the @UNGenderNetwork :) today

[UN Gender Network @UNGenderNetwork]

Now considering the UN Secretary General's Reform proposals in our groups, focusing specifically on sample elements of minimum standards. Some encouraging sections, but still quite vague. Are we also further gendering roles? #UN

'Why are things not moving as fast as they should?' What are the barriers to gender equality and representation within the #UN? @UN_Women @unwomenEU @UNWomenWatch

[UN Gender Network @UNGenderNetwork]

Monitoring is essential along with implementation of policies relating to gender. Policies need teeth, concrete accountability and directives for implementation. #MappingUNGender #UN #Gender #Policy

[UN Gender Network @UNGenderNetwork]

@UNICEF - 2006 study looked at gender parity in upper level- policies good in theory but not in practice. Great to see study being done, and results made public, but we need an updated study- let's see what has changed in 10 years. https://t.co/KEoeQMnjhI

[UN Gender Network @UNGenderNetwork]

Considering the breastfeeding policy, recruitment, Gender Equality Seal Initiative and leadership development pathways at the @UNDP https://t.co/aAKQc9E7cf

[UN Gender Network @UNGenderNetwork]

The policies in the handbook recommend a minimum standard. Need to go above and beyond and look at #gender within these entities. Implementation is made difficult through vague language- https://t.co/V2052mzHZF

[UN Gender Network @UNGenderNetwork]

'What kind of policies are we looking for when we are mapping #gender? -intern policy -childcare -breastfeeding -bullying -training- surrogacy, among others.' @unwomenjapan @unwomenEU @unwomeneca
